>> they talk about this recession like it fell out of the sky like where did it come from? it came from this manager... >> joe and i are from similar towns, the unemployment rate in scranton today is 10% you know what it was the day you guys came in? 8.5%. it shouldn't be surprising for a guy who's as 47 percent of american people are unwilling to take responsibility for their own lives, my friend said 30 percent of american people are takers. >> romney is a good man he cares about 100 percent of americans in this country. i think the vice president very well knows that sometimes the words don't come out of your mouth of the right way. >> later in this broadcast we'll

have reaction from voters. new development today in the mystery of them missing north suburban moms and her two little girls. we are live with the latest on the investigation. the investigation for the night wrapping up here about 90 minutes ago people taking down their police tape packing up and clearing the seen no real updates from them on what they spent most of the day doing. as darkness falls on this quiet street investigators from the lake county sheriff's office, and go friends and family fearing the worst. we don't know what happened we don't know where she is we're worried about the kids and of course not knowing anything and everything is going through your head.

printer two daughters haven't been seen since saturday night when they left her parents' home the girls are to year-old in the four months old her estranged husband reported them missing. she told me multiple times that those girls are her world. what changed here today was dramatic the family home became by all appearances a crime scene tape off with a csi van parked in the driveway and police moving in and out with equipment and boxes. it's not like her. this isn't >> the license number is:

friends in the meantime are simply doing the best they can. i pray that the kids are ok and she is ok. six students in the disturbing reason for why they may have become ill, of road and droppings in their school lunches. >> students at hirsch metro high school will not be getting hot lunches until a problem with rats in the kitchen is resolved on wednesday some students found right droppings in their hot lunches and they say their food appeared to have been issued on.

chicago public schools confirmed that at least two students possibly three went to the hospital shortly after eating their lunch we are told they are expected to be ok. in a statement, sepias says at the close of school tomorrow pass control will be on site at the facility to alleviate any remaining issues throughout the weekend will be at the school to ensure the problem has been fully eradicated and that the kitchen will be back in operation before the start of

school on monday but students say the problem with rodents at hirsch is nothing new to them. there was a mouse that crawled under the crete and some people were scared and screaming. >> ceo jean-claude brizard is out. he has only been in the job for about 17 months but as we know there was a school strike that may have led to what they call a mutual agreement with city hall for him to leave. within city hall this rumor has been swirling for weeks that

brizard might be out. are you going to keep impasse school ceo? apparently that was not the case. in the meantime the father of the 19 year-old nearly broke down in tears as his son faced terrorism charges, he pled not guilty that he tried to bomb a bar, he appeared in federal court today agents say the young man from hillside was behind a plot that could have killed hundreds of people accused of planting the bomb cals bar located on the is the

corners. the defense says he was set up and his dad said he was a good kid. this bombing was the idea of the government. he seemed to be in good spirits even joking with the judge and if convicted he could get life in prison. there is a new poll from the chicago tribune and wgn that shows his job approval rating is right now very low statewide only 26 percent of registered voters approve of the job he's doing. 22 percent said they did have an opinion his strongest support comes from chicago voters into african-

americans but even that vote is said to not be very strong, it may give impetus for other democrats to challenge him and a primary in 2014. new ideas coming up to curb youth violence in chicago. plus a plan to turn the city's underperforming schools into charter schools. and a fabulous all day but tom skilling says it's about to get chile.

every year we pick a new city to explore. but thanks to hotwire, this year we got to take an extra trip. because they get us ridiculously low prices on really nice hotels and car rentals. so we hit boston in the spring-- even caught a game. and with the money we saved, we took a trip to san francisco. you see, hotwire checks the competitions' rates every day so they can guarantee their low prices. so, where to next? how about there? ♪ h-o-t-w-i-r-e... ♪ ♪ hotwire.com ♪

charter schools into the system we are seriously considering that. he runs a rapidly growing network of charter schools. rendell says the proof is in the pudding. not everyone agrees, many parents say that charter schools train badly needed resources from neighborhood schools and the chicago teachers union says it's an attempt to privatize the public school system. mayor ron emanuel says it's all about the kids into providing an array of strong educational options to parents. although he has a vested interest in the expansion

of public charter schools he says that it's time to try new approach. we are talking a lot of hundred and 23,000 kids in failing schools and we really have to keep our eye on the children and what's best for them. really looking at what is best. repeated efforts to reach the chicago teachers union for comment were unsuccessful but in the past the president karen lewis made it abundantly clear that she will fight the expansion of city charter schools. lose more than 200 cals in two minutes? it may be possible. jon bon jovi, they're the stars walking the red carpet at the opening of tonight's 48th chicago international film festival. we will have all of

little bit warmer we had wind gusts to 40 mi. per hour today in some areas. you can almost see this system right here marking the leading edge of the cool air high pressure behind it. these are going to pass across the area and they will be gone by morning. this is the big deal out to the west, the rains have been hammering lust vegas today. there was actually flooding in that area. we look at the three-dimensional structure of these storms you can see why these have been raining heavily and we have some

beautiful weather buckshots from las vegas today 2. that was the scene from the weather system that is lifting for the rocky mountains and the next couple of days and headed it to us. over 1 in. of rain that in las vegas is a big deal. now in the wake of those wins a * set crashing tonight, 44 at island lake, 48 is the reading at west suburban.

we are in the corridor which runs all the way from high one northward into michigan. a little closer look at the rays that come down this weekend. the actual range in all the computer models is from 35 hundredths of an inch and on one of them the canadian model kicks out to lunch. . here is the rain at midnight tonight selling seltzer the area. you will see how these rains a shift out of the area and we have some like a fax that

star locking and and these winds which will start northerly will bend around to the northeast. the reason for the rain of the lake effect of variety is because we are bringing this chilly air across the waters of the lake these are current temperatures it's down to 31 in national falls. cloudy and several showers. tomorrow mostly sunny and cooler. coming up the

vice presidential candidates made up for their only debates. we will have a local reactions coming up.

gecko (clearing throat) thank you, mr. speaker, uh members of congress. in celebration of over 75 years of our government employees insurance company, or geico...as most of you know it. ...i propose savings for everyone! i'm talking hundreds here... and furthermore.. newcaster: breaking news. the gecko is demanding free pudding. and political parties that are actual parties!

with cake! and presents! ah, that was good. too bad nobody could hear me. geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. >> more people signed up for medicare advantage after the change. >> mr. vice president i know you were under a lot of dress to make a... but i think we would be better served if we don't keep interrupting each other. feisty, it was that kind of debate a little bit of a slug fest here and there but overall each candidate making points as well as it possibly can who will let you decide americans gathered in front of the tv to watch the debate in their homes.

students at northwestern university watched together on the evanston campus and dan ponce de is with them. of course some of the smartest and most politically engaged students in chicago are here at northwestern. we will start with this young man. who would do say won this debate? >> i would say chow biden won because he had a lot more detailed specifics into ryan didn't seem to have any. the smirking didn't bother you? >> he had a reason to. >> i'm a sophomore i think paul ryan won the debate, just because joe didn't seem to take the debate as seriously as i would have liked paul ryan spoke calmly and rationally.

>> what moment in the debate stuck out for you? >> i would have to say that the vice president wanted to although with it in the amount of fighting the partisan is probably for their candidates my favorite moment was at the end when he spoke very very personally about the middle class and when he was talking about how they were pushed into the 47%. >> i think the vice president won the debate i think he was just clearly more in control of the debate, i thought that his experience in politics really showed and i thought ryan did a good job as well but he clearly just didn't stand a chance against the vice president. for a very smart students here it sounds like it's 3-1 in favor of the vice-president we will send it back to you. joining us now

with more analysis is paul lisneck as we said coming out of the bat you saw the vice president saying that is a bunch of malarkey right off of the bat. it's more likely to be conversational. nevertheless being at the table did not keep them from going after each other. a little bit different than last week. she also got to her agenda she had nine different topics i was surprised at how much foreign policy was discussed. she is a foreign policy reporter so we had a little more than i would have expected and i say that because if most people at home are basing their decisions on the economy and jobs and you probably wanted the debate to go more in that direction. first,

style clearly vice-president by then it seemed like he was trying to dominate unlike the way president obama was not able to during his debate you can counter with a laughing and the interrupting was router not that will be up for heavy debate no pun intended but content was reducing one? the fact checkers will come into play and we will see tomorrow we didn't hear anything new we heard the same lines we heard chow challenge paul ryan and he concentrated more on mitt romney is position which makes sense he did get some zingers in there about how he may have changed his positions, paul ryan got a good line in there which is we all sort of regret things we say from time to time but i will say this is a very substantive conversation i think paul ryan really stuck to facts and figures and numbers and chow was more emotional. >> but he always is. several

times he knew how to work the camera i was bothered stylistically and they should have known it would be on a split screen that constant laughter smile on his face a combination of nervousness or i have a point to make. it was even more than a laughter and a smile it was... it was very animated. >> for my taste it was too much. we are told everything is going bad with 5.2 million new private-sector jobs, we need more but 5.2 million if they would get out of the way and let us pass the tax cuts to the middle class and make it permanent if they get out of the way and let us allow 14 million people who are struggling to stay in their homes because their mortgages are upside down but they never missed the mortgage payment. that line

almost a tagline or a mantra, get out of the way and i think it was one of his stronger moments because essentially what he said is he cannot blame the president when you have a republican congress that will not do anything we can make things happen if you get out of the way. >> let me tell you about the mitt romney i know, this is a guy who i was talking to a family in northborough massachusetts here today their kids were hit in a car crash four of them to have them robb and reid were paralyzed the romney's didn't know them as they went to the same church but they never met before. i know you are struggling mark romney said don't worry about their

college i will pay for it. romney doesn't tell the stories, the family told the story and when they did he said it wasn't that help or that cash to give his time. >> ever since the republican convention clearly the advisers tell him that. always a story always emotional. they got choked up so now he passes it to paul ryan. the baseball playoffs

>> de, happy with the with the bulls close to the game. pamphlets we're striving for improvement each and every day so we want to be a well-balanced team we have to be good on both sides of the ball. in the third

quarter we played very very well and then in the fourth quarter we didn't play as well. we just want to play it for longer stretches. the washington nationals are fighting for survival against the cardinals. the second inning against kyle more roche. san lewis and got the run back on earned. they tied it 1-1 in the ninth. jason worth gone for a homer over the wall in the nationals went to-1 game 5 takes place tomorrow. they lost the first two games at home and then they cannot to

cincinnati. a grand slam by buster posey. the reds are down by two they have plenty of runners on but could not cash in. the giants win this 16-4 to take the series three games-to. what sense of need to know is that we are doing things the right way there isn't a certain date or a certain time associated with that witches have to build the organization from the ground up and build to the point that every year is

successful and that's going to take time that doesn't mean we're not going to play great baseball it doesn't mean it's a bad idea we will still have an exciting team on the field the next year. and i think we will be good. >> to net was supposed to be the opening night in the national hockey league contract talks continue about the lockout but they are playing in the british columbia hockey. pflug >> are you kidding me? one of the nicest place you will ever see! this kid could run for mayor! is this actually happening? fearing
